  1. Hi - I love Goodnotes, but it's too cumbersome to repeatedly switch between read-only mode and editing mode and it creates needless cognitive burden (e.g. you have to think about which mode you're in).

    It would be great to have a setting where I can enable hyperlinks (e.g. navigational links) to work AT ALL times - even when I'm in editing mode. In such a scenario, I could happily edit with my Apple Pencil (including scribbling over hyperlinks), but the moment I touch a hyperlink with my finger, Goodnotes would take me to that link.

    This feature alone would help…

  2. Lernkarten: Es wäre toll, wenn die Lernkarten sowohl -wie schon jetzt- randomisiert; aber bitte unbedingt in der Reihenfolge (der Notizen) abfragbar sind! Da sie so nicht nur als Karteikarten, sondern auch als Lernzettel (thematische Ordnung möglich) fungieren können!!!

  3. Everyone I know loves the stylus used for the laser pointer writing feature but its not actually a stylus you can use to write notes!! That pen style is so nice and I would love to write my notes with it!

  4. I suggest pen sizes bigger than 2.0mm! More variety is always better.

  6. I adore GoodNotes and am happy to pay for each new version. But just please, don’t force users into a terrible subscription service that is against App Store rules. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll keep paying when it’s time for an upgrade. I really love this app, I really do.

  7. Please allow a setting to save custom colour choices for every time use. I like I have to change the colour palate options everytime to my needed colours before I can write a new note. I mean there should be an option to create on colour palate and save it for later use and not just the default you have provided.

  9. Add an option to increase the speed of draw and hold with the pen. In subjects like math and engineering, there are a lot of graphs and lines to draw. Switching to shape tool every time can be tedious while the pen also feels slow when dealing with such subjects. Apple notes has nailed the hold time in my opinion and seeing an option to change the speed would be appreciated.

  10. It would be nice to be able to organize the notes I post on GoodNotes Community into folders (ex. by class or subject) so it’s easier to navigate a person’s profile

  12. For example, I want to see how a sorting algorithm works but it’s hard to see the steps by making a bunch of graphs. So being able to make a small animation will help visualize how something works without having to create a bunch of pages

  13. I have imported my own font to use, however, I am unable to use it as fast and efficiently as I wish because every time I create a new text box it goes to the standard font style and size

  14. I like to type down the notes. but as a Chinese, I type two languages.
    When I type English with the TimesNewRoman font, and then I want to type Chinese, it changes into the font that I don’t like automatically.
    What’s worse, when I want to type English again, it’s still using the font that i hate, this time it didn’t change automatically, I have to change the font by myself again, it’s so annoying.
    Please save the default font by typing languages.
    Please improve the experience of typing.

  15. I love the app for studying and editing documents but I think the app is missing big features that would solidify its spot as the best note taking app in the App Store. The features that I feel would make the app 10x better: gifs, other short video replays, bigger library of stickers, different pen styles, dotted or other style lines, and more templates. Some of these are such easy add ons that it really doesn’t make sense why the developer haven’t done something about this already. Especially when countless other users have asked more these.

  16. I'd really like a way to set up Outlines for our notebooks so that each section has its own subsection. The subsection would be linked altogether (e.g., Chapter 1 is one, Chapter 2 is another, etc.)

    That way, we could more easily drag and drop to reorder things in our notebook instead of having to tediously do each slide one-by-one!

  18. It could be good that if the pen cursor of GoodNoted 5 for Mac is changed to the cursor in OneNote (simply a small dot instead of a cross).

  20. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.
